They are filament bulbs, not LEDs. I just had my assembly off this past weekend to repair it. The two studs that hold the assembly to the rear door is incredibly flimsy. Mine has broken twice. So I modified two soda bottle caps and eposied them over the studs to create ultra strong round gussets. A lot sturdier now!

Why would you want something that makes your plate brighter and easier for people to see? Like, oh, say... the police. You shouldn't do anything to facilitate Johnny Law and his antics.
That said, is it illegal to make the lights red? Will it get a fix-it-ticket?

Yeah I know that Yellowish color just bugs the crap out of me when I'm walking towards my Box after I turn it on with my Autostart while I'm waiting in line at the store.

Plus what it comes down it personal prefference and style isn't that why we have our Scions.
